Legally Brunette

Seriously. I’m SO ready for the weekend.

This whole “weekend” thing is really an interesting concept. When I worked at home, I looked forward to the weekend, but I didn’t really crave it. Now that I’m working an office job I find that I REALLY crave the weekend. It’s not even the time off - it’s being home. I’m a huge homebody, and I really love just being home.

That, and I’ll admit - I hate taking showers. Before you freak and think that I’m a dirty hippie who only showers once a month, that’s not the case. I do shower daily, otherwise I feel icky. I just hate the necessity of showers. I don’t like getting wet, I don’t like having water on my face, and I don’t like having to face all that first thing in the morning. If I had my druthers I wouldn’t take a shower until noonish. (Which is what typically happened when I worked at home, and what still happens on weekends.)

For the record, I also don’t like swimming in lakes, pools, or oceans. I like LOOKING at the ocean - but I’d prefer not to have to touch it. I do enjoy hot tubs, but that’s because it tends to be a more recreational/community thing rather than merely for the purpose of getting wet. I also enjoy baths, but that’s a very self-contained warm, relaxing thing. And there’s usually bubble bath involved, which makes everything better.

In any case - I’m really, really looking forward to tomorrow. I can drink coffee and sit in my chair and read my casebook and generally be a putz. Weekends = ZOMG awesome.

In other news - I still love law school. Torts and CivPro are awesome classes - the professors are hard but fair. Legal Thinking, however, is going to cause me to go grey before my time.

Do you have a different opinion than the professor? You’re wrong.
Are you looking at the situation differently than the professor? You’re wrong.
Do you ask a question? You’re wrong.

And she speaks in such a bitchy, condescending tone of voice. I can handle difficult people, but condescending people make me want to slap them across the face. I could literally *feel the rage* in the pit of my stomach as I walked out of that class, and most of my classmates were in the same boat.

I’ve calmed down, though, and I’m trying to look at it as a positive exercise. I’m going to have to deal with bitchy, condescending people in the legal system - judges who think they’re better than me, other attorneys who are assholes, etc. So I’ll take this as a lesson in dealing with difficult people, and look forward to the end of the year. *moan*

Tonight - a night off, and then I want to try to get all the reading done for the upcoming week this weekend. I have to at least do Mon/Tues’ readings, and I found that on Wednesday night I was just too tired to concentrate, so I didn’t get a lot done. If I can do it all on the weekends, I think I’ll be better off.

Is it the weekend yet?

*yawn*
